Value of Startup Accelerators (Why we attend) I am currently applying to three accelerators: Google (which we accepted) Scaleup by Laziridis Institute in waterloo Biology at Endless Frontiers (NYU) How valuable are…

We’ve decided to create a series of blog posts sharing a subset of my weekly thoughts publically. If you don’t want the context you can skip to the links to some content at the bottom. The goal of making this writing public is a) Help other startup companies especially in techbio space, with our musing and evolution on…

ProteinQure is helping to create a world where drugs are engineered. We have been building the computational methods needed to unlock the full potential of protein therapeutics (biologics). That opportunity is critical to addressing unmet clinical needs. Today, we are privileged to announce a USD $4M Seed round led by…

The massive scientific scope required to develop next-generation technologies can sometimes make it difficult to identify small incremental improvements that may change a paradigm. The quantum computing industry has coalesced around the notion of quantum advantage. …

On June 7th, ProteinQure graduated from the quantum computing stream of the Creative Destruction Lab. While this marks a significant accomplishment, it is only the beginning. We’ve raised our pre-seed, begun hiring and are moving quickly to build the next generation of computational drug design tools. The Creative Destruction Lab…

Everything you need to know about the protein folding problem — Find out more at www.proteinqure.com Protein folding is a “holy grail” problem in the field of biology. Chemists, biologists, and physicists have pursued it for decades, uncovering astonishing complexity. Solving it would be grounds for a Nobel prize. Molecular modelling and simulations have been fundamental tools for understanding it. These…

Wayne Gretzky was once asked what made him great. “I skate to where the puck is going to be, not where it has been” Which makes sense, because no one can afford to be stuck in a crowd with their competitors. So why do large enterprises fail to do the same with emerging technologies? Companies focus too much on what can be accomplished today instead…

Imagine how they built the first Tesla Model S. First they started by building a million prototypes, each with random variations. Then they performed tests in the lab; checking to ensure basic functionality (do the lights work, can it make left turns, does the engine start). Tesla then moved on…
